#AI #DataCenter #Resistance: #Maine Passes Nation’s First Statewide Moratorium — Will Gov. Mills Sign It?
#DemocracyNow, April 22, 2026
"Communities across the United States are pushing back against resource-draining data centers being built to fuel artificial intelligence and crypto ventures. In Maine, state legislators recently passed a first-in-the-country statewide moratorium on large data centers. 'Maine residents are concerned about the impacts of data centers on both their electric rates and other utility rates, as well as on our wonderful environment,' says Democratic state Representative Melanie Sachs, who sponsored the bill designed to give legislators time to develop regulations around new data center construction. Sachs says developers have been operating in 'complete secrecy' refusing to engage with community stakeholders, while their plans appear to provide 'limited economic opportunity with very few local jobs.' The bill goes to Maine Governor #JanetMills’s desk next."

Meanwhile, in #Maine...
As #dataCenters look to rural #NewEngland, Maine considers a moratorium
The bill’s advocates want answers about how data centers will affect energy costs in the region, which already has some of the country’s highest electricity prices.
By: Julia Tilton, The Daily Yonder - February 23, 2026
"Maine legislators are currently considering #LD307, a resolution bill that would establish a data center coordination council to provide input and evaluate policy options for data center development in the state. The bill comes after a series of data center proposals have been met with local pushback.
"Shortly after #WiscassetME voted to pause its data center conversations in November of 2025, residents in #LewistonME, lobbied their city councilors to reject a $300 million #AIDataCenter on December 16, 2025. There, community members organized over a weekend to change city councilors’ minds from supporting the idea when it was first made public on December 11, 2025, to voting unanimously to reject it the following week.
" 'It really speaks to the importance of adequate public participation and notice,
said Dana Colihan, the co-executive director of Slingshot, an environmental health and justice organization in New England. Colihan is based in Maine and helped residents of Wiscasset and Lewiston organize. 'When community members do find out about these projects, they have really serious concerns around the impacts to their local environment and wellbeing.'"Richard Davis was among the residents in Wiscasset and neighboring #WestportIsland who, in November of 2025, pushed Wiscasset’s town selectboard, which functions like a city council, to pause conversations about developing a $5 billion data center on a town-owned parcel of land along the Back River, which empties into Maine’s #CascoBay.
"Davis, who lives along the Back River about a mile and a half from the proposed development, said little information about the facility’s end user, utility usage, or power source was provided after it was first made public on September 16, 2025.
"This caused him and others to worry about how the site would affect the town’s resources, including the grid. Along with his neighbors, Davis started #ProtectWiscasset, a grassroots campaign opposing the data center."

Dozens gather in protest outside #ScarboroughME #ICE facility
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, who visited an #ICEFacility in Massachusetts on Thursday, stopped by the protest Friday afternoon.
Drew Johnson, February 20, 2026
SCARBOROUGH — "#Protesters gathered outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility here on Friday to voice dismay over the agency’s practices in Maine and elsewhere.
Nearly 100 people — including U.S. Rep. #ChelliePingree — had gathered along #MansonLibbyRoad by the protest’s 3:30 p.m. start time, according to a reporter’s count."Protesters chatted, held signs and flags, and waved as drivers honked their horns. Organizers lined the street with caution tape to designate where demonstrators ought to congregate and to keep them out of the roadway.
"Pingree, D-1st District, complimented demonstrators on their signs and stopped to chat with some and answer questions.
" 'Even though the surge has slowed down here in Maine, we still have a lot of activity,' Pingree said."

And for anyone who did not know the exact location of the #ICEFacility in #ScarboroughME, the address is 40 Manson Libby Road! Any vets needing some support (and maybe want to keep an eye on #ICEVehicles)? Hmmmm...
#ICE facility planned in Scarborough
May 5, 2021
By Ulya Aligulova | Photos Joseph Shaw"Construction of a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility located at 40 Manson Libby Road in Scarborough is set to be completed in spring 2021. It will share the building with a #VeteransAdministration group that provides therapy and support to veterans.
"The news of the facility first broke in February 2020 when Bangor Daily News reported on an email they obtained, under the Freedom of Information Act, from Alisa Wofford, a leasing specialist with the U.S. General Services Administration, an agency that manages federal building contracts. '[T]his space will be low key and not brightly advertised as an ICE location,' Wofford wrote to other government officials. 'The GSA property manager does not speculate that protests will be a problem for the vet center.' According to the email, ICE will process, fingerprint, and detain people suspected of immigration violations, keeping them in onsite holding rooms before transporting them in unmarked vans to an overnight detention facility elsewhere, if necessary.
"At present, people apprehended by the agency and waiting for immigration court proceedings are generally held at the Cumberland County Jail before being moved out of state. According to ICE’s website, the nearest Enforcement and Removal Operations field office, whose area of responsibility includes Maine, is in Boston. However, in October 2019, the agency announced the opening of an administrative office in downtown Portland at One City Center, which also has one holding cell. The news of the two facilities came as the number of people arrested by ICE spiked across the country. In 2019, ICE apprehended over 1.1 million people, a rise of nearly 70% from the previous fiscal year. In 2020, the agency convicted nearly 400,000 people and deported over 185,000 noncitizens from the U.S.
"Scarborough town officials were not aware of the plans for the facility before the Bangor Daily News broke the story. #JoshSoley, the owner of the industrial building at 40 Manson Libby Road, signed a 15-year-lease with the GSA in April 2019. 'This was a private transaction between a property owner and the federal government that complied with all the zoning requirements and the council doesn’t have any authority to approve or disapprove leases between the parties,' said Scarborough Town Council Chief Paul Johnson. 'We’ve since changed our zoning laws so that overnight and detention facilities will no longer be allowed. The new zoning would also prevent this facility from expanding.' "

From 2020: #Activists call on #OneCityCenter to cancel lease to #ICE offices
Jan 6, 2020
PORTLAND, Maine —"Activists lit up parts of Portland with a message Friday, asking Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to leave the city.
"Light projections shared messages on One City Center, the location of ICE's office, asking the management company to cancel the lease.
"A second projection and a small cage were set up in #CongressSquarePark.
DIRIGO Management Company, which manages One City Center, issued a statement Monday morning on Friday's protest."President Bob Keegan said that while the company oversees facility management, it does not own One City Center and does not make leasing decisions.
"Keegan said all leasing decisions are made by the building's owner One City Center Associates LLC."

While out and about in #PortlandME, I came across this sign.
The late #JoeSoley was a notorious #SlumLord in #PortlandME. It seems his son #DavidSoley and grandson #JoshSoley are in cahoots with #ICE! David Soley might be connected to #OneCityCenter (where ICE has had an office since 2020). Josh Soley is the owner (and David the manager) of the #ICEFacility in #ScarboroughME.
Here is some info I found on Reddit...
Posted January, 26, 2026
"No ICE, No Josh Soley/ CORE
A recent post brought attention to the fact that Josh Soley is the owner of the #ICEKidnapping facility in Scarborough that is putting kids and their families in cages.
This fuckface is worse than the ICE agents terrorizing our town. He is akin to a #Nazi profiteer. I’m all for denying service to ICE agents, but can we please step up the boycott and refusal to allow Josh and his real estate company CORE to do business as usual? I bartend in town and I will quit before I serve him or his family. I will also donate to anyone who can make posters they can share and I promise to help plaster them all over town."

#ShennaBellows should be commended, not impeached! WTF!
Dem official could face GOP impeachment for refusing to cooperate with ICE
Travis Gettys, February 4, 2026
Excerpt: " 'This unilateral decision will put law enforcement and the public in danger,' wrote Republican Senate Leader Trey Stewart and House Leader Billy-Bob Faulkingham, along with their deputies, in the Jan. 21 letter. [Oh, and ICE is making us safe? F*ck you!] 'The Secretary has made it clear: Her actions serve only to make federal law enforcement officers — regardless of agency or mission — easily identifiable for the purpose of disrupting their lawful operations.' " [Um, more like UNLAWFUL OPERATIONS!]

More than 1,000 rally in #PortlandME against #Trump, #ICE
The protest in Monument Square was just one of many demonstrations across the U.S. on Friday.
by Drew Johnson, January 30, 2026
PORTLAND — "Friday’s protest appeared to be one of the city’s largest in months, dwarfing recent protests that occurred during much warmer weather on hot, sunny summer weekends.
"But it was a frigid January afternoon, and more than 1,000 people turned out anyway. They huddled together, chanting, cheering and holding their signs over the clouds rising from their breaths.
"Real estate was scarce in Monument Square as the demonstrators condemned Trump administration policies, most notably the recent surge of federal immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota and Maine.
"The crowd stretched from One Monument Square to the bus stop across Center Street and lined the opposite side of Congress Street. When they marched, they extended from the square well down Exchange Street. They eventually made it all the way to Commercial Street, with police blocking off roads and forming an escort.
"The protest in Portland was just one of many demonstrations across the U.S. on Friday, which included a general strike where businesses shut down and students walked out of class, from #California, #Arizona and #Colorado, to #Michigan, #Minnesota and Maine.
"More than 200 Maine businesses participated in some capacity, either by closing their doors or donating a portion of profits to groups and organizations helping immigrants. Some businesses lined the square with tables, handing out hot chocolate, coffee and treats to demonstrators. Many area high schoolers — including in Portland and #LewistonME — walked out of or skipped school altogether."

#LewistonME High School students march in protest of #ICE
At the end of classes Friday, the group of about 60 made the march, holding up signs and stopping now and then to chant at passing traffic.
by Mark LaFlamme, January 30, 2026
LEWISTON — "It was bitter cold and windy Friday afternoon, but Lewiston High School student Evelyn Lenhert wouldn’t have dreamed of missing the #AntiICE protest.
"She feels too passionately about it. She’s too concerned about the prospect of ICE taking away her classmates and their families.
" 'I’m out here,' the freshman said, 'because I fear for the safety of my friends. ICE could come at any second and I’m just very scared about it.'
"Lenhert was one of several dozen students who made the march from the high school on East Avenue to Kennedy Park at Pine and Park streets.
"At the end of classes about 2 p.m., the group of about 60 began walking, holding up signs and stopping now and then to chant at passing traffic.
" 'No justice, no peace,' they chanted, 'get ICE off the streets!' "

#Maine #nurses hold vigil for #Minnesota colleague, call on Congress to #DefundICE
Kathryn Carley, Maine News Service
January 30, 2026Excerpt: "Many residents report people with no criminal records and others living in the United States legally have been detained. Freedman said that includes nursing assistants and environmental service workers at Maine Medical Center.
" 'There’s a physician that wrote an amazing piece on Facebook about how this is affecting our daily lives at the hospital, how it’s affecting the care our patients are receiving, how it’s affecting morale,' she said. 'It’s a really difficult time.'
"Freedman said nurses have been providing rides to co-workers who feel unsafe driving alone. Others report being harassed by ICE agents who threaten to deport their families. Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey is urging Mainers to document any abuses they witness, adding his office has already identified 14 credible reports of ICE agents using excessive force."
